Redirect output on script

[glenn.pringle]

I would like to redirect the output of the command below to another
file
type test.txt > test.bak

I'm trying to do this as part of a python script running on Windows
XP.

I'm using os.system('type "filepath.txt > filepath.bak"') but nothing
is happening.

I was wondering if somebody could enlighten me.



Thanks,


Glenn Pringle

Try:

os.system('type "filepath.txt" > "filepath.bak"')

or just:

os.system('type filepath.txt > filepath.bak')

Using the handy-dandy subprocess module:

bak = file('filepath.bak', 'w')
subprocess.call(['type', 'filepath.txt'], stdout=bak)
